Saku Saku: Love Blooms with the Cherry Blossoms Reviews

Don't mind my playtime and achievement, I have already read this back on the seven seas. Another solid visual novel from paletto. Overall SakuSaku is a good VN with pretty consistent quality across the routes, but the real highlight of the game is definitely Konami's route. In my opinions, Konami's route stands as one of the best little sister routes I have ever encountered, and I have read a lot of them, untranslated VNs included. In other words, 10/10 would recommend.

I thought this game gonna be good after I saw the art style, but after I spent 35 hours finishing all routes I cannot say that I want to recommend this Visual Novel despite its peak illustration Why? -The story is flat, no depth to explore for the MC, and some characters, common route is boring and not have anything with main routes so I felt like "Why the fk I need to read common route" -Plain MC, it seems like the writer wants the reader to self-insert, but it affects the opposite side, cuz MC is like a robot, so I could not self-insert. Its felt like I am drinking water while reading this ass. If you want to write good Visual Novel and want reader to self-insert please atleast add some taste to the MC man, make MC more interesting not just only "oh I want love too" "ok" " I love you" how tf I can self-insert lmao. -writer want to include all characters in their routes however, he could not cook enough, the more I spend time reading this ass the more I want to delete this game. The writer wants to add every element in his mind to make one route, and that somehow makes everything mixed, it seems like he did not know which direction he wanted to present in his writing -many plot holes. 5 heriones and 5 sup characters with medium gameplay time = ass, still many more questions need to be answered, yet this VN could not -Pacing is so bad, and the dialogue is boring. Character development for the MC in this VN is one of the worst. From friend to lover is very rushed, there are almost no scenes that show characters' development between MC and Heroines in a Romantic way, or even though it has, everything just looks too easy, like "I love you," " oh I love you," something like that. Bro, read another Romance Visual Novel. this VN is below than average The only route I would recommend for this game is "Ann route" if you want to explore and eat a good candy 6/10
